How about painting the boost black, or white, or a couple shade darker than the body colour.

Those dakars look familiar, Tim
I do like the black boosts, have they been spaced out? Again, chaps thanks for your comments... The tab caravan was mine, munch, see below. Today, I had to go to work, but ordered the OME dampers, I sold the rear seats from the load area, though waiting for a response from buyer, ebay

The OME rear dampers landed on my desk this morning, thanks to LRS OFF ROAD
Having removed the cheap nasty Armstrong dampers that were fitted, though didn't function at all, I fitted the nice OME kit. It's specifically valved to work for the 110 and it shows, it drives sublimely and I have already ordered the front dampers and I've gone for a heavier rate front spring, to hopefully level the ride out, I'm not a fan of the 110 high rear stance. Bushes next, so once I know it's all done and goes down the road straight, I will concentrate on the rest..

Another bundle of good stuff from LRS arrived today
It's a shame I'm busy this weekend, or it would have been fired on

After dinner last night, I fitted the rear bushes. I've fitted a lot of different branded polybushes before, but these are the best I've ever fitted, very simple and the trailing arms go straight back in the axle mounts, without the aid of 2 paint scrapers and a jack
The front springs I ordered are +1" as the 110 sits 'face down a$$ up' so it should make it sit level. Next job, fitting front springs, dampers and hockey bushes. I just ordered some Climair wind deflectors, as I had these on my 90 and they were really useful. |
